Description of the thesis topic
The Aix-Marseille University and the ATLAS CPPM group in Marseille have an opening for a PhD in
the domain of IC design and characterization of depleted CMOS sensors and hybrid pixel
electronics for future applications at particle colliders.
The Centre de Physique des Particules de Marseille (CPPM) is a joint research unit of the Centre
National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and the Aix-Marseille University. The CPPM is a leading
player in research in Particle Physics, Astroparticle Physics and Observational Cosmology. It is present
in the largest physics experiments currently underway or being developed throughout the world.
The CPPM ATLAS group has a long-standing experience on hybrid pixel technologies. It is currently
involved in the ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk) upgrade project, targeting the High Luminosity phase of the
Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC project), and also in developments of technologies for future
applications at collider experiments.
We are seeking candidates to join the group and develop CMOS sensors and hybrid pixel electronics
in small feature size for particle physics pixel detectors at high intensity and high radiation dose, in the
context of several international collaborations and projects.
We are seeking motived candidates that should have skills or strong will to acquire experience in:
- Microelectronics and circuit design.
- Silicon semiconductor process technologies.
- Deep submicron CMOS technologies.
- Design tools, simulation, design and verification.
- Experimental verification, designing test systems, acquisition software.
- Testing complex devices, data processing and data analysis.
Work Context
The CPPM is located on the Luminy campus in Marseille
